Yeah, that's pretty cool. Thanks, man. I like the auto zoomer thingy in a separate window but I wanna download it so I look even closer.

That's a very nice map. And over two hundred years old, it displays mild discoloration and some wear around the folds.

Wow - that's fabulous! Thanks for the link.
